Triple H
Dustin Rhodes is currently doing well for himself in AEW. Back in 2019, Dustin requested Vince McMahon for a release. In a surprising turn of events, Vince McMahon refused to let him leave. Triple H, WWE's EVP, was the one who convinced Vince McMahon to let Dustin go. Rhodes eventually announced that he was granted his release by WWE.
Soon after, Rhodes made his way to AEW and was announced for the promotion's first show, Double Or Nothing. At the event, Dustin Rhodes took on Cody in one of the best matches of the night. The brothers embraced following the brawl, to loud applause. Ever since then, Dustin is being heavily featured on AEW TV. He has feuded with the likes of Jake Hager and Shawn Spears. Letting Dustin go was the right decision, as he wasn't doing much of note in Vince McMahon's company. Triple H received praise from fans for convincing Vince McMahon to let Dustin go and shine somewhere else.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
